Re: Runic

"No fucking idea," Michael said. "A Witch Runic got to her, she's probably trapped in it's barrier." He could hear his partner hiss at him, which he responded to by making an OK symbol behind his back. "Or it might be eating her right this second, I dunno."

James eyes widen when he heard him say this. "Shit...Do you know where this witch Runic is?" He asked, nearly choking as he asked. He needed to find Isabella as fast as possible, and go rescue her, but he couldn't do that with what little information he had, so he had to ask these people for help, no matter how much he didn't like it.

"Alright then." Sam said. "James, you're in charge of finding Isabella. I'm going with Wayne to the hospital." she said, her eyes not leaving the two men. Sirens could be heard coming from outside. "You two gentlemen are staying here, where you can be taken into custody by the cops. I will be happy to take part as a witness in the trial for attempted murder." she smirked.

by Book the Hero Fri Aug 03, 2012 11:54 pm

"I highly doubt they're just going to stand here, and wait for the cops, Sam." James said. He could tell just from the aura they gave out, that it would be pointless to try and detain these two.

"Only another Runic can sniff out a witch Runic," Michael said. "Good luck with that." Hearing Sam, he frowned. "If there's one thing we don't do, it's mess with people we can't outrun. Which is, like, no one. Rein." A second later, the two Runic Hunters disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

James cursed when they disappeared, before getting up. "Sam, take care of Wayne, I'm going to go find Isabella." He said, before walking off.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 12:17 am

Michael and Rein appeared in an alleyway downtown. She pulled down her black hood, her dull gray eyes glaring at her partner.

"Yeah, tell him that he can find the barrier but don't tell him how," she hissed.

Michael shrugged. "He'll find out, I'm sure."

"I bet he probably doesn't have an orb," Rein muttered, disappearing and reappearing on top of a dumpster. "If that Witch eats her, we're all screwed."

James rushed off, looking around the school, before returning to where he had found the locket, that had fallen from the roof. Silently, he pulled the locket out, staring at it. "...Where are you..."

OOC: So...what should I have him do?

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Aug 04, 2012 1:08 am

Paramedics came running in moments later, finding Sam shirtless and holding bloody fabric to Wayne's wound. She was shivering, and they pulled her away so they could do anything necessary to keep him alive. "Let me ride with him. I'm family." she said quietly to the one who had led her away.

"Fair enough. Here, take this blanket. We'll get you another shirt when we get there. He should be fine, the cut didn't seem that deep, but he's going to need surgery. Do you have a parent we can call?" The woman asked, tossing her a gray blanket.

Sam draped it on her shoulders. "No. It's just me and him." She stepped away as the gurney was loaded up on the ambulance, and the woman directed her to sit on a bench before closing the doors and starting to drive away. She rode in silence, her worry not leaving her, and remained silent as they eventually pulled into the Emergency Room and wheeled Wayne away, leaving Sam alone in the Waiting Room.

She waited for hours. The paramedic woman did bring back a t-shirt for her to wear, and Sam tugged it on. It smelled disgusting. She'd rather be shirtless and in the blanket. So she took it off again and set it next to her before folding the blanket just so to make a decent coverup until she could get ahold of another.

A doctor came out eventually and called out Wayne's name, and she stood, hoping for good news. "Ah yes. He's out of surgery and in the recovery unit. You can come see him now." He said with a smile, and Sam breathed a sigh of relief as she was led back to Wayne's room, and pulled up a chair at his side to wait for him to wake up. However, she wouldn't see him because she soon drifted off into sleep, and Wayne would find her head beside him and the blanket close to falling off.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:31 pm

Wayne woke up laying in a clean room that smelled really clean. Hospital clean. The sounds of machines monitoring various parts of his body was not the best sound to wake up to either. The spray of hair he saw by his head looked familiar and he quickly realized it was Sam. She was sleeping peacefully with a blanket close to falling off of her. Wayne leaned over and tried to pull the blanket back on her but stopped himself when he felt the pain in his stomach. A lift of his own blankets revealed a large gauze pad covering his knife wound. The stitches were uncomfortable but bearable. Paying his way out of here would be a real mess, and paying to cover up his involvment would be even worse. He took a deep breath and waited for Sam to wake up or a doctor to walk in.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:37 pm

Sam felt movement on her shoulders when the blanket moved, and instinctively sat up, alert and confused. "Huh? What?"she said, before realizing Wayne had woken up. "Oh. Good morning." A slight smile tugged on her lips. "How are you feeling?" She took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:54 pm

Wayne squeezed Sam's hand back, although it was clearly weaker than what he expected. "Well, I feel like I got stabbed. And electrocuted. Quite pleasent that was." He shook his head to try and clear his mind. "What happened after I blacked out?" Wayne was eager to find out what happened to Isabella and about why Spikey had tried to kill Isabella. Killing this guy was going to bring Wayne some pretty dark joy.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:12 pm

"Electrocuted? They did say the area around your wound was internally burned, but they could figure out why. They said they'd come ask you about it later. But let's see... James found you passed out, and then I saw him as he tried to get you out. I used my shirt to try and keep you from bleeding out, but some bitch screamed out you were shot and started mass panic. Then, when everyone was gone, the ginger guy came out and said something about you defending a dragon. I almost shot him with your gun, but he took it and I have no idea what happened to it. Sorry.

Anyhoo, he told us Isabella was taken by a witch or something, and James ran off to go save her. Then the paramedics came after the ginger and his buddy disappeared, and they took you here. I waited about four hours for news, and I've been freezing. Stupid low hospital temperatures." Sam said bitterly, tugging the blanket around her bare shoulders. "They gave me a shirt, but it smelled disgusting. So I left it in the waiting room and dealt with this. Apparently it's a shock blanket. Who knew?" She smiled before using one hand to keep the blanket around her and the other to keep her hold on his. "I was really worried about you. I'm glad you're going to make it, unless something pops up." Finally, she took a deep breath, and kissed his cheek gently.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:34 pm

James ran down the streets of the city, taking shortcuts through alleways. He was trying to reach Xyriel's place, since she was the only Runic he knew, that he could reach.

OOC: Maya, can you have a runic attack James?

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:42 pm

James may have heard something growling at him. Several bandages whipped out from the dark alley, grabbing him and trying to pull him into the darkness.

OOC: Not who you think it is.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:45 pm

OOC: Doesn't mean James won't think so at first.

---

James erupted into fire, burning off the bandages, and his shirt, showing off an even better physique then before. "Argh...damnit Kaizo, I liked that shirt, buying new ones is getting expensive!"

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:52 pm

"Kaizo" stared blankly at James, staying in the shade. One of his eyes and most of his neck was now covered in bandages, but...well, first off, instead of covering his right arm, his bandages were now on his left arm. It was like a reversed image of Kaizo.
The Runic pulled a dull gray orb out of his pocket and threw it at James. He was suddenly surrounded by darkness and may have felt as if his energy was being sucked out.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:06 pm

Shit! That's not Kaizo James thought, before increasing his flames intensity, the light fighting the darkness. James rushed at his opponent, firing several fireballs at him, and one at the orb he had thrown.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:25 pm

A large black bird exploded out of the orb and flew at James, trying to peck his eyes out. It didn't even try to dodge the fireballs, as they simply went right through it like it wasn't even there.
"Kaizo" hissed, it appeared as if the light and the fire had a great affect on him. The bandages turned into bronze armor and metal spikes rose out of the ground, surrounding James.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:33 pm

Damn...I hadn't had much time to practice this, only a couple days, but... James blasted the ground below him, sending him into the air to avoid the metal spikes. He got the idea from the Human Torch, but it was imperfect, and he really had to focus. He fired even more fireballs at the runic, temporarily losing focus, and began to fall. He quickly did his best to regain focus, and went flying straight towards the Runic.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:54 pm

"Kaizo" was knocked into a wall. The fire was causing it great pain. It frowned and transformed into a reversed version of Isabella. There were scars all over her body and her clothing was ripped. Runes covered her forehead and the right side of her face. She looked up into the sky and it began to drizzle.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:00 pm

Oh you gotta be-! James thought, before gathering energy as he flew straight at the runic, before sending the most powerful fireball he could, when he was very close. Hopefully the sheer power of it will be able to kill it, even if the rain weakened it's power.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:11 pm

There was no screams or cries as the fireball made contact with the Runic. Just a simple explosion and lots and lots of smoke. The only thing left of the Runic was a light purple orb.

by Book the Hero Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:14 pm

James approached the orb, as the rain extinguished his flames, and picked it up. He briefly wondered what exactly it was, and if it could possibly help him find Isabella.

OOC: Since James killed someone, those that mean he's now a bit stronger?

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:26 pm

OOC: Yup. His Runes would've spread a bit as well.

The orb glowed softly the second James touched it. He could feel the presence of many Madness and normal Runics in the area around him, and there were quite a few. However, the presence of three extremely powerful Runics and one powerful but seemingly contained one kinda dulled the rest down, even though James was quite a distance away from those particular Runics.
